Next Phase Awarded NOAA/NESDIS Multi-Year RF Engineering and Analysis Follow-On Contract

The Department of Commerce/National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (DOC/NOAA) office of the National Environmental Satellite Data and Information Systems (NESDIS) has awarded Next Phase a follow-on contract to conduct comprehensive engineering studies of federal and commercial satellite communications systems. The studies will be used to determine the feasibility of sharing radio frequency spectrum between existing Federal users and commercial cellular network carriers.

Our partner, Alion Science and Technology, joins us as our valuable partner. Alion brings more than 40 years of experience in spectrum engineering, as well as numerous years of experience supporting NOAA and other government agencies with the challenges of spectrum sharing.

Next Phase and Alion Team to Assess Benefits and Impacts of Spectrum Sharing

NOAA/NESDIS has awarded Next Phase a contract to analyze the spectrum sharing benefits of using Advanced Wireless Services (AWS) carrier identification and to develop the bit error, and frame error rate threshold above which federal GOES-R satellite broadcast receivers will suffer degraded or lost data. Alion Science and Technology, joins us as a valuable partner!  Alion Science brings more than 50 years of experience in spectrum engineering, as well as 10+ years of experience supporting NOAA and other government agencies with the challenges of spectrum sharing.

Next Phase Awarded NOAA Engineering Contract

The Department of Commerce/National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (DOC/NOAA) has awarded Next Phase a contract to map spacecraft-to-end user data flows and users needs for the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) program. This effort will inform requirements and provide a comprehensive understanding of user impacts as they relate to RFI in a shared spectrum environment.  Our partner, Alion Science and Technology, joins us as a valuable partner.  Alion brings more than 40 years of experience in spectrum engineering, as well as numerous years of experience supporting NOAA and other government agencies with the challenges of spectrum sharing.
